DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Hereinafter, a golf putting mat according to the present invention willbe described in detail below with reference to the accompanyingdrawings.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG.2, a golf putting mat 1 includes two or more putting pads 3-1, 3-2, and3-3 and a mat body 5.

In this case, the two or more putting pads 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3 are made offabrics having different friction coefficients from one another, andwhen a user places a golf ball on the golf putting mat 1 to putt thegolf ball, a moving distance of the golf ball may be different accordingto the friction coefficients. Like this, differences in the movingdistance of the golf ball upon the putting according to the frictioncoefficients of the putting pads 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3 are called asdifferences in green speed. If the friction coefficients of puttingsurfaces 10 of the respective putting pads 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3 become low,accordingly, the green speeds become fast, and contrarily, if thefriction coefficients become high, the green speeds become slow.

Like this, various methods for varying the green speeds, that is,friction coefficients, among the putting pads 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3 may beproposed as follows.

Firstly, one mat body 5 is segmented according to green speeds in alongitudinal direction thereof, and the segmented sections of the matbody 5 are machined with different roughness through post processinglike brushing, so that the putting pads 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3 havingdifferent friction coefficients from one another are formed on top ofthe mat body 5 even if they are made of the same material as oneanother.

Secondly, the two or more putting pads 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3 havingdifferent friction coefficients from one another according to wovenmethods are separately manufactured, and next, they are connectedserially with one another on top of the mat body 5 in a longitudinaldirection, so that the two or more putting pads 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3 havingdifferent green speeds from one another can be provided.

Thirdly, as shown in FIG. 2, the two or more putting pads 3-1, 3-2, and3-3 having different friction coefficients from one another according todifferences in materials are separately manufactured, and next, they areattached to top of the mat body 5, so that the two or more putting pads3-1, 3-2, and 3-3 having different green speeds from one another can beprovided.

So as to allow the putting pads 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3 to have differentfriction coefficients from one another according to their material,however, fabrics for the putting pads 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3 areappropriately selected according to the friction coefficientscorresponding to the number of putting pads 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3. Forexample, the putting pad 3-1, which is slowest in the green speeds, ismade of a fabric that is made by blending linen, polyester, and cotton,thereby increasing the friction coefficient thereof, and the putting pad3-3, which is fastest in the green speeds, is made of a fabric that ismade by blending rayon and polyester, that is, polyrayon, therebydecreasing the friction coefficient thereof. Further, the putting pad3-2, which is intermediate in the green speeds, is made of a fabric thatis made by blending cotton and polyester, that is, polycotton, therebyproviding an intermediate friction coefficient thereof.

The mat body 5 constitutes a body of the golf putting mat 1, and asshown in FIGS. 2 and 3, it has a shape of a rectangular band and is madeof a fabric or rigid body like a synthetic resin. If the mat body 5 ismade of the fabric, it may roll, so that it is convenient in storage,and if the mat body 5 is made of the synthetic resin, it may have aframe structure, so that solid members like hole cups may be madethereon.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2, the golf putting mat 1 accordingto the present invention further includes target portions 7. The targetportions 7 are putting targets that are formed on the other side of theputting pads 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3 located on the opposite side to one sideof the putting pads 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3 if the putting is performed on oneside of the putting pads 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3. If the mat body 5 has ashape of a flat plate, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, it is impossible toensure spaces in up and down directions thereof, and accordingly, thetarget portions 7 are attached to top of the mat body 5 in the form ofmarks. Further, as shown, the target portions 7 are provided on therespective putting pads 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3, but of course, one target 7may be marked on any one of the putting pads 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3. If themat body 5 has a solid frame structure with a given height, which is notshown, separate spaces may be ensured, so that the target portions 7 maybe formed in the form of hole cups having a given depth.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, as shown inFIG. 4, a golf putting mat 1 includes two or more putting pads 3-1, 3-2,and 3-3 separable from a mat body 5. As shown, the putting pads 3-1,3-2, and 3-3 are detachably attached to top of the mat body 5 in such amanner as to be connected serially with one another.

In this case, the putting pads 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3 have different frictioncoefficients through various methods so that when they are attached tothe mat body 5, they have different green speeds from one another.Further, the putting pads 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3 vary their green speedthrough differences in post processing for the surface roughness,differences in their woven method, or differences in their material asshown in FIG. 3.

For example, as mentioned above, the putting pad 3-1 among the puttingpads 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3 is made of a fabric that is made by blendinglinen, polyester, and cotton to form a putting surface 10 whose greenspeed is slowest, thereby providing the highest friction coefficient,and the putting pad 3-2 is made of a fabric that is made by blendingcotton and polyester, that is, polycotton to form a putting surface 10whose green speed is intermediate, thereby providing an intermediatefriction coefficient. Further, the putting pad 3-3 is made of a fabricthat is made by blending rayon and polyester, that is, polyrayon to forma putting surface 10 whose green speed is fastest, thereby providing thelowest friction coefficient.

Further, the respective putting pads 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3 are separatelymade in such a manner as to be separable from the mat body 5, andaccordingly, they have detachable coupling members to the mat body 5.Accordingly, the respective putting pads 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3 themselvescan be changed in position or can be changed in position with oneanother. Even if not shown, for example, the putting pads 3-1, 3-2, and3-3 may be rotated on a horizontal surface and then attached to the matbody 5 in such a manner as to allow the front and back thereof to bechanged with each other. Even if not shown, further, the respectiveputting pads 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3 may be changed in position with oneanother and then attached to the mat body 5.

As another example of the respective putting pads 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3 inposition, as shown in FIG. 6, the putting pad 3-3 may be turned over andthen attached to the mat body 5, and in this case, the undersides 15 ofthe respective putting pads 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3 may be used as the puttingsurfaces. To do this, the respective putting pads 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3 havedifferent surface roughness on tops and undersides thereof. For example,as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, any one of top and underside of each of theputting pads 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3 is made of a fabric that is not subjectedto any post processing like brushing, and the other is made of a fabricthat is subjected to post processing like brushing, so that the tops andundersides of the respective putting pads 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3 may havedifferent green speeds from one another.

To do this, the respective putting pads 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3 can bedetachably coupled to the mat body 5 by means of various couplingmembers 13-1 and 13-2, and according to the present invention, as shownin FIGS. 4 to 6, the detachable coupling is achieved by means of Velcrotapes. In this case, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the respective puttingpads 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3 have female or male Velcro tapes 13-1 attached toboth longitudinal sides thereof, and the mat body 5 has female or maleVelcro tapes 13-2 attached thereto in such a manner as to correspond tothe Velcro tapes 13-1. So as to allow the respective putting pads 3-1,3-2, and 3-3 to be freely turned over and attached to the Velcro tapes13-2 of the mat body 5, in this case, the respective putting pads 3-1,3-2, and 3-3 have the Velcro tapes 13-1 attached to both sides of topand underside thereof, as shown in FIG. 5.

Moreover, FIG. 7 shows yet another embodiment of the present invention.As shown in FIG. 7, a golf putting mat 51 includes a putting pad 53, abag pad 54, and a convex and concave pad 55.

In this case, the putting pad 53 constitutes a putting surface 50 of thegolf putting mat 51, and as shown in FIG. 7, the putting pad 53 has theshape of a flat plate made of any one of the various types of fabrics asmentioned above.

The bag pad 54 constitutes a bag-shaped accommodation space S, togetherwith the putting pad 53, and as shown in FIG. 7, only if the bag pad 54as a flat plate type pad attached to the underside of the putting pad 53forms the accommodation space S, it may be freely made of any materialor be freely shaped. As shown, further, the bag pad 54 is made in theform of a net body. In this case, desirably, the bag pad 54 and theputting pad 53 openably seal the inlet portion of the accommodationspace S by means of a member like a zipper.

The convex and concave pad 55 applies concave and convex portions to theputting surface 50 of the golf putting mat 51, and as shown in FIG. 7,the convex and concave pad 55 has the shape of a flat plate made of asynthetic resin having given elasticity, while having a plurality ofprotrusions 61 and 62 protruding from top and underside thereof. Whenthe convex and concave pad 55 is inserted into the accommodation spaceS, concave and convex portions, that is, curves are formed on theputting surface 50 by means of the protrusions 61 or 62, andaccordingly, the golf putting mat 51 varies the green speed of theputting surface 50 according to the sizes of the concave and convexportions formed on the putting surface 50. That is, the golf putting mat51 determines the green speed of the putting surface 50 according to thesizes of the protrusions 61 and 62 of the convex and concave pad 55inserted into the accommodation space S. For example, as shown in FIG.7, if the concave and convex pad 55 is inserted into the accommodationspace S in a state where the protrusions 62 that are relatively small insize and arranged close to one another are located on top of the concaveand convex pad 55, when compared to a state where the protrusions 61that are relatively large in size and arranged distant from one anotherare located on top of the concave and convex pad 55, the green speed ofthe golf putting mat 51 can be faster.

Like this, as the sizes or tightness in distance of the protrusions 61and 62 protruding from the outer surfaces of the concave and convex pad55 vary locally according to their positions on the outer surfaces, thegreen speed of the putting surface 50 can vary locally according to thepositions of the protrusions 61 and 62 on the putting surface 50. Asshown, that is, the concave and convex pad 55 is configured to allow thesizes and distances of the protrusions 61 and 61 to be different only ontop and underside thereof, but of course, the concave and convex pad 55may be configured to allow the sizes and distances of the protrusions 61and 61 to be different on the same top or underside thereof. In thiscase, the green speed of the putting pad 50 can be differently set evenif the concave and convex pad 55 is not turned over.

Further, FIG. 8 shows still another embodiment of the present invention.As shown in FIG. 8, a golf putting mat 201 includes two or more puttingpads 203-1, 203-2, and 203-3 and a mat body 205.

In this case, each of the putting pads 203-1, 203-2, and 203-3constitutes the entire putting surface 210, and in the same manner asabove, the putting pads 203-1, 203-2, and 203-3 are made of fabricshaving different friction coefficients from one another. When a userplaces a golf ball on the putting surface 210 to putt the golf ball, amoving distance of the golf ball may be different according to thefriction coefficients. Accordingly, the user selects the putting padhaving a desired friction coefficient from the putting pads 203-1,203-2, and 203-3 to thus set his or her desired green speed of theputting surface 210.

Accordingly, the mat body 205 constitutes a body of the golf putting mat201, in the same manner as the mat body 5, and as shown in FIG. 8, ithas a shape of a rectangular band and is made of a fabric or rigid bodylike a synthetic resin.

Further, the respective putting pads 203-1, 203-2, and 203-3 aredetachably attached to the mat body 205, and accordingly, they havedetachable coupling members 213-1 and 213-2 to the mat body 205.Accordingly, the respective putting pads 203-1, 203-2, and 203-3 can bechanged with one another, and when they are turned over and attached tothe mat body 205, their underside 215 may be used as the putting surface210. In this case, of course, the top and underside of each putting pad,that is, the putting surface 210 and the underside 215 have differentsurface roughness from each other, thereby allowing the green speedsthereon to be different from each other. In the same manner as thecoupling members 13-1 and 13-2, the coupling members 213-1 and 213-2 maybe constituted of one pair of Velcro tapes.

Now, an explanation of an operation of the golf putting mat according tothe present invention will be given.

As shown in FIG. 2, the golf putting mat 1 according to the presentinvention is configured to allow the respective putting pads 3-1, 3-2,and 3-3 to have different green speeds, and accordingly, a user whowants to practice putting places a golf ball on a hitting position 11marked on one end of each putting pad and putts the golf ball toward thecorresponding target portion 7. In this case, the putting pad 3-1 amongthe putting pads 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3, which is made of a fabric that ismade by blending, for example, linen, polyester, and cotton to thus havethe highest friction coefficient, so that the putting pad 3-1 providesthe slowest green speed. Further, the putting pad 3-2, which is made ofa fabric that is made by blending, for example, cotton and polyester,that is, polycotton to thus have the intermediate friction coefficient,so that the putting pad 3-2 provides the intermediate green speed.Moreover, the putting pad 3-3, which is made of a fabric that is made byblending, for example, rayon and polyester, that is, polyrayon cotton tothus have the lowest friction coefficient, so that the putting pad 3-3provides the fastest green speed. Accordingly, the user selects theputting pad with his desired green speed and practices putting.

If the putting pads 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3 are detachably attached to the matbody 5, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, they have the three-step green speedsas mentioned above, in the same manner as above, so that the userselects the putting pad with his desired green speed and practicesputting.

If it is desired to vary the friction coefficients, that is, the greenspeeds of the respective putting surfaces of the putting pads 3-1, 3-2,and 3-3 to more various steps, as shown in FIG. 6, the putting pads 3-1,3-2, and 3-3 are detached from the mat body 5, turned over, and attachedto desired positions, so that the undersides 15 with different frictioncoefficients may be used as the putting surfaces. In this case, thedetachable attachment among the putting pads 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3 and themat body 5 is easily possible by means of the Velcro tapes 13-1 and13-2. As the Velcro tapes 13-1 and 13-2 are attached to the concavesurfaces somewhat depressed on the surfaces of the putting pads 3-1,3-2, and 3-3 and the mat body 5, the thicknesses of the putting pads3-1, 3-2, and 3-3 and the mat body 5 cannot be increased at all.

In the case of the golf putting mat 51 as shown in FIG. 7, further, thegreen speed of the putting surface 50 varies according to theprotrusions 61 and 62 of the concave and convex pad 55, and accordingly,if the concave and convex pad 55 is inserted into the accommodationspace S in a state where the protrusions 61 that are relatively large insize and arranged distant from one another, that is, large concave andconvex portions are located on top of the concave and convex pad 55,relatively large concave and convex portions are formed on the puttingpad 53 pressurized outwardly through the protrusions 61, so that thegreen speed of the putting surface 50 may be relatively slow.Contrarily, if the concave and convex pad 55 is inserted into theaccommodation space S in a state where the protrusions 62 that arerelatively small in size and arranged close to one another are locatedon top of the concave and convex pad 55, relatively small concave andconvex portions are formed on the putting pad 53, so that the greenspeed of the putting surface 50 may be relatively fast. Through theselection of the position directions of the protrusions 61 and 62 cominginto contact with the putting pad 53, the green speed of the putting pad53 can vary easily.

Further, the concave and convex pad 55 may have the protrusions 61 and62 of different sizes and distances, and accordingly, the user selectsthe concave and convex pad 55 having the protrusions 61 and 62 of his orher desired sizes and distances, thereby varying the concave and convexportions of the putting pad 53. As a result, his or her desired greenspeed of the putting surface 50 can be set easily and rapidly.

In the case where the two or more putting pads 203-1, 203-2, and 203-3,which are made as one piece of pad, are provided, as shown in FIG. 8,the user selects the putting pad with his or her desired surfaceroughness among the putting pads 203-1, 203-2, and 203-3 and attachesthe selected putting pad to the mat body 205, thereby changing the greenspeed of the putting surface easily. Further, the putting pads 203-1,203-2, and 203-3 are turned over to allow the undersides 215 thereof tobe utilized as the putting surfaces, thereby varying the green speed ofthe putting surface.

As described above, the golf putting mat according to the presentinvention can be configured to allow the two or more putting surfaceswith different green speeds to be formed on the mat body, so that theuser can practice putting with various green speeds on one putting mat.

In addition, the golf putting mat according to the present invention canbe configured to allow the putting pads to be separated and attachedagain from/to the mat body, so that the desired putting pad can be movedto another position of the mat body and can be rotated by 180° on thehorizontal surface and attached to the mat body, so that the user canfreely form his or her desired putting surface on the mat body.

Moreover, the golf putting mat according to the present invention can beconfigured to allow the putting pad separated from the mat body to beturned over and attached again to the mat body, so that the setting ofthe green speeds according to the friction coefficients of the puttingpads can be variously made.

Further, the golf putting mat according to the present invention can beconfigured to have the concave and convex pad inserted into theaccommodation space formed between the putting pad and the bag pad toallow the concave and convex portions to be formed even on the puttingsurface of the putting pad by means of the concave and convex portionsformed by the protrusions of the concave and convex pad, while allowingthe sizes of the concave and convex portions to be changed according tothe different sizes and distances of the protrusions on the outersurfaces of the concave and convex pad, so that since the sizes of theconcave and convex portions of the putting surface can be changedaccording to the sizes of the concave and convex portions of the concaveand convex pad, the green speed of the putting surface can vary easilyjust by changing the direction of the concave and convex pad insertedinto the accommodation space.

Additionally, the golf putting mat according to the present inventioncan be configured to have the concave and convex pad with theprotrusions of different sizes and distances, so that the user canselect the concave and convex pad with the protrusions of his or herdesired sizes and distances to thus form the concave and convex portionson the putting pad, thereby setting his or her desired concave andconvex portions on the putting pad to allow the green speed of theputting surface to vary easily and rapidly.

Also, the golf putting mat according to the present invention can beconfigured to allow the plurality of putting pads with different surfaceroughness to be formed to the form of one piece of pad, in such a manneras to be detachably attached to the mat body, and to allow the undersideof each putting pad to have different surface roughness from the puttingsurface thereof in such a manner as to be used as the putting surface,so that the user can vary the green speed of the putting surface easilyand rapidly through the replacement or re-attachment of the putting pad.
